Medical examination items for renewing a driver's license at the hospital mainly include vision tests and color blindness tests, along with grip strength, squat-and-stand, blood pressure, hearing, and electrocardiogram tests. Below are the precautions for renewing a driver's license: 1. Handle violations: Before renewal, ensure all violations are addressed, fines are paid, and demerit points are cleared; otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the new license. 2. Apply in advance: You can apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued within 90 days before the license expires. 3. Expiration details: If the license has expired for less than a year, renewal follows the normal process; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license is canceled, but renewal can still be processed by passing the subject one exam; if expired for over three years, the license becomes invalid and cannot be renewed.
Last time I went to the hospital for a driver's license renewal physical exam, it felt quite straightforward. The main tests included a vision check where I had to read different letter charts with one eye to confirm my vision meets the standard without nearsightedness issues; then there was a hearing test where the doctor whispered to see if I could hear; followed by a color vision test using color cards to check for color blindness or inability to distinguish traffic light colors; they also examined limb functionality, like gripping objects to test hand dexterity and walking a few steps to check leg stability; finally, they measured height and weight to ensure overall health wouldn't affect driving. The whole process took about 20 minutes and was inexpensive. I recommend bringing your ID and a copy of your driver's license and going early to avoid queues. After completing it, I could directly upload the results to renew my license.
